#15 - Enrolment Ceremony 09
So we're enrolled!
First thing we did was changing parade. It was the sec-ones first changing parade into full guides uniform. Some of us had a little trouble with it, but the sec-twos helped us, which was nice of them(: Then we ran back down the stairs, Miss Chua came out of her classroom and told us that we were making too much noise, so that's something that we can improve on. Then was enrollment, the sec-ones went into horse shoe formation for the very first time, which was quite cool. Then we started to get enrolled. It was an interesting experience for me. So now that we're enrolled, we have to jiayou.

Had enrolment on wed. Was a little worried as some of us had not tied braids. But, we were given 15mins for changing parade. So, we had sufficient time to make sure that our attire was proper. After the sec 4s checked our attire, we were given 3mins water break. Then,we were seated in the concourse. The sec 1s repeated our honour and our promise a number of times among ourselves as we were pretty worried about being nervous and forgetting them.
Following that,we fall in beside our PLs and then, marched into the horseshoe formation. A few of my batch mates had told me about how awed they were seeing our seniors marching in the horseshoe formation on thinking day and were excited about the fact that they would be joinning in the formation this time.

It was enrolment ceremony on Wednesday afternoon. Enrolment ceremony was very significant for the secondary one batch because we were officially enrolled as guides. Before the ceremony, we had changing parade and we changed in our guides uniform for the first time. All of us were so proud to be wearing such a smart uniform. The seniors helped us adjust the uniform and the secondary twos aided us in wearing them. The seniors explained to us about the procedure of enrolment ceremony. However, despite repeated explanations from the seniors, most of the secondary ones were still not sure about the exact procedure so we were extremely nervous and afraid that we would be scolded if we made a mistake. Then after, the Colours was being put up and we had to stand at attention each time something important was being adjusted to the Colours. Before the enrolment ceremony, we wear our beret and march into the horseshoe formation. I was so scared because I had no idea how to go about doing that. After the enrolment ceremony was officially opened by the teacher, each patrol’s recruits had to march out together with our patrol leaders and we had to say what our honour means and recite the Guides’ Pledge before saluting to Colours and getting our enrolment batch pinned on our scarves. The enrolment ceremony was kind of frightening actually because the entire company was looking at us but exciting at the same time as we were being enrolled as guides after about two and a half months in guides. After each one of us were enrolled, we all felt extremely relieved. Then we were dismissed and most patrols had patrol interaction. I hope my batch can keep to the guides promise.
